| 5 | The GEMINI instrumentation and measurement services must be applied |
| 6 | to an existing slice. This tutorial assumes the reader is familiar |
| 7 | with the process of creating slices, and we do not describe the steps |
| 8 | needed to create a slice in this tutorial. However, in this tutorial |
| 9 | we will be using a particular example topology. We also assume the |
| 10 | user will access the topology using the user workspace VM designed |
| 11 | specifically for this tutorial. The example topology RSPEC and the |
| 12 | instructions for accessing the slice using the user workspace are |
| 13 | given here a background information. |

| 18 | == Instrumentation == |
| 19 | |
| 20 | After a slice has been created, we are ready to begin installing the GEMINI tools and |
| 21 | services into that slice. We call this the "instrumentation" step. This step can take |
| 22 | a significant amount of time. Depending on the size of your topology, this can take minutes |
| 23 | to hours. To avoid wasting time waiting for the tutorial slice to instrumentize, we have |
| 24 | already created a set of example of slices and instrumentized them, so there is no need to |
| 25 | instrumentize your slice in this tutorial. However, the process of instrumentizing a slice |
| 26 | with the GEMINI tools is given on the [wiki:GEMINI/Tutorial/GEC15/Background/Instrumentize GEMINI Instrumentize] web page. |

| 28 | == Running the Experiment == |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Before we can use the GEMINI tools to monitor an experiment, we must initiate the experiment. |
| 31 | In particular, we will want to generate traffic that can be measured by GEMINI. For the purposes |
| 32 | of this tutorial, we implemented a simple GUI that makes it easy to generate traffic in our |
| 33 | experimental topology. To access and use the GUI, please follow the instructions |
| 34 | given on the [wiki:PathControllerDemo] Experiment Controller Web Page]. |
